✦ Synopsis

A physically based distributed hydrologic model is developed in this study for ¯ood inundation simulation combining newly developed overland and channel network ¯ow simulation models with evapotranspiration, unsaturated zone and saturated zone models. The overland ¯ow and river ¯ow models are validated individually with test data, and then coupled with other models. The model can take ®ne resolution spatial data as input preserving spatial heterogeneity of physical characteristics of a river basin. River embankments play an important role in ¯ood prevention. The model can incorporate river embankment data in ¯ood inundation simulation. The model is applied in a river catchment in Japan to simulate a ¯ood event in 1996. Outputs from the model show good agreements with observed ¯ood hydrographs and surveyed ¯ood inundation.
